Goldcrest
Been lucky enough to have Goldcrests and Firecrests visiting my pond every day this week. Just a shame the weather has only allowed me to get shots on just one day, even then it was a very dull and overcast.

Nikon D300
Nikon 300mm f2.8 +1.7tc
800 iso
200th sec
f6.3
cropped from landscape.

Good shot of a species I view as almost impossible.

Good capture of what is obviously a difficult subject. However, for me the piece of 'stick' (or whatever it is) next to the birds head spoils the overall image.
